@Mikezumi oh sweetheart I'm so sorry to hear your husband has passed. :'(
I must say this much my youngest is 19yo and she was the one who introduced me to sims, i haven't looked back. The one thing i find tho, is the great people i have met through this forum. I only joined late last year(September i think?) and have never looked back, the diverse ages, knowledge and experiences. It's the people who also makes Sims who they are. Stories, Legacies etc... not to mention our crazy sims who do make us laugh. I cannot thank my daughter enough for introducing me to sims 7 years ago and finally deciding to get sims3 it's been the best decision.
When i started i was a little nervous, but doing my first pet challenge.. then reading and commenting on people's stories and.. meeting wonderful people like yourself and @Charlottesmom, (few others who really i've grown to love). It's the people we meet who make our lives a little easier. :)
YES boys are a little different when it comes to sims i think? could be wrong. My daughter still plays sims 2 we both share our stories of situations. She often sits to watch what my lot get up to.
It's been a life time battle... long story but it's made me the strong person i am today, i just don't give up. A little of Michael in me ;) Never say die attitude. I know this surgery will be the best thing. another 3 days... so i'm hoping to get another chapter up... and then have to pack and get ready but hopefully recovery wont take too long and i can come back on here and see where you're all at with your stories and say my big hellos <3
